🧠 The Second Opinion
An AI assistant that challenges your thinking instead of just agreeing with you.
What Makes This Different?
Most AI assistants validate your ideas. This one finds the flaws.
Traditional AI:
- "That sounds great!" ✅
- Validates everything
- Agrees with you
Second Opinion AI:
- "Here's what you're missing..." 🤔
- Challenges assumptions
- Finds blind spots
- Offers alternatives
